Released November 14, 2025 by 10K Projects and Capitol Records, Big Guy was custom-written by Ice Spice (Isis Gaston) and Ephrem Lopez Jr. for the soundtrack of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (in theaters December 19, 2025). Ice Spice has said she was required to include certain SpongeBob-related words in the song's lyrics, which is how 'SpongeBob, big guy pants, okay' ended up as the chorus hook — and how it became the meme. The track peaked at #23 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, #100 on the Billboard Hot 100, #22 on the Australia Hip Hop/R&B chart (ARIA), and #18 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart. TikTok dance versions spread fastest on contrast-comedy content (small dogs, babies, grandparents performing the choreography) — a format the song was almost designed for, given the absurdist SpongeBob hook.
Cultural Note
Big Guy sits at the intersection of three cultural touchpoints: Ice Spice's voice-acting debut as a ticket-taker fish in the SpongeBob Movie (a Bikini Bottom character design that resembles her), the SpongeBob franchise's continued meme dominance (the show's screencap-as-reaction-image vocabulary has remained TikTok currency for almost a decade), and the contrast-comedy TikTok dance format that thrives on subjects 'who shouldn't be pulling off' the choreography. Ice Spice has described contributing to the SpongeBob soundtrack as a full-circle moment because the show was part of her own childhood — and the song's lyrical universe commits to the underwater visual world of the film rather than dropping SpongeBob as a name-check, with puns like 'I blow bubbles so big like Mrs. Puff' and 'Ain't a jellyfish, but I'm the catch' threaded through the verses. That commitment is part of why the chorus hook landed: it's not a SpongeBob song with hip-hop, it's a hip-hop song from inside SpongeBob.
The choreography works on contrast — pets, babies, grandparents, and unexpected subjects produce the strongest TikTok engagement; adult dancers in expected poses get scrolled past
Photos where the subject looks serious or unaware amplify the comedic contrast — the joke is the 'big guy' confidence appearing on a subject who didn't ask for it
Solo-subject photos outperform group photos — the format is built around a single character performing oversized confidence, and group dynamics dilute the contrast
Yellow or blue-toned backgrounds (SpongeBob's primary colors) tie the output to the song's source film aesthetic — but plain backgrounds work fine
